Program
The Soldier´s Tale is a stage piece that Igor Stravinsky created from a text by Charles Ferdinand Ramuz. The work was conceived in 1917, while exiled in Switzerland in the midst of the Great War. After the great ballets, it is a precedent of neoclassical works such as Pulcinella. Designed for a small group of performers with the idea that it could easily tour around the country like a small circus troupe, The Soldier’s Tale is a staged Faustian tale. A soldier who plays the violin, sells his soul to the devil (represented by the violin) in exchange for a book that allows him to know the future.
Three dancers on stage give body and voice to the characters of this work, which questions the turning-point between good and evil in a society that has rendered us insatiable and where temptation is all around us.
